Kymi Sinfonietta: Nearby Tour Strings – Three Stories for Strings

NEAR – TOUR: Ten Strings of Sinfonietta – Three stories for strings

Program:

Heinrich Biber:                      Battalia à 10

Dmitri Shostakovich:             Chamber Symphony in C minor, Op. 110a (orch. Barshai)

Osvaldo Golijov:                 Last Round

String music that also pulsates and shakes with an anti-war theme! Biber’s Battalia à 10 , composed in the 17th century, surprises by combining baroque music with exceptional playing techniques. Shostakovich’s intense Chamber Symphony dives into the composer’s inner world of lights and shadows. Golijov’s Last Round is a nod to Astor Piazzolla, combining a delicate rhythm with tango elements.

A timeless concert, free admission.
